President Donald Trump’s re-election has sparked discussions about its potential impact on Ethiopia-U.S. relations. Experts at Ethiopia’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (IFA) believe Trump’s pragmatic foreign policy approach could strengthen economic collaboration, particularly in market liberalization and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Abdi Zenebe (PhD), IFA Director General, emphasized the importance of focusing on positive diplomatic engagement, highlighting Ethiopia’s resilience during past challenges.
Anteneh Getachew (PhD) noted Trump’s potential to recalibrate U.S.-Africa relations, contrasting with strained ties under President Biden.
Business leader Zemedeneh Negatu anticipates a shift from aid-based policies to investment-driven strategies, unlocking growth opportunities for Ethiopia.
Mulualem Getachew, a lawyer, raised concerns about Trump’s deportation policies, warning of potential disruptions to Ethiopian undocumented migrants in the U.S. and their vital remittance contributions.
As Trump begins his second term, analysts urge Ethiopia and the U.S. to prioritize strategic partnerships that drive mutual economic growth, peace, and security.
